Be it known that l, Enwnno ll. linemen, a citizen of the United Stetes, and resident of Detroit, Wayne county, State of hl'ichi: gan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Motor-Vehicles, of which the following is a specificotion.

This invention relates to motor vehicles and particularly to the lamp and windshield supporting arrangement thereof.

One of the objects of the invention is to support a sidelemp on a motor vehicle with its wires extending through the windshield support and cowl Another object of the invention is to pro vide a detachable connection between the windshield support and cowl of e motor ve hicle together with an arrangement oi? as side lamp on the windshield support with its wires extending through the support end through the cowl.

()ther objects of the invention will eppear from the following description taken in con nection with the drawings which form a part of this specification, and in which:

Figure l is an elevation and part scctional view of a portion of a motor vehicle cowl and windshield construction with a, side lamp mounted on the windshield sup- P Fig; 2 is on enlarged sectional view through a portion of the windshield support;

- Fig. 3 is an enlarged section. on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and I Fig. 4: is an enlarged section on the line H of Fig. 1.

Referrin to the drawings, 10 represents a portion 0? the cowl or dash of e motor ve hicle and ll is one of the stiffening hrechets of the cowl, these parts forming a nortion of the motor vehicle body. A windshield is shown as detachahly connected to the cowl '10 and comprises o sash 12 having glass 13,

and a bracket or support 14 to which the sash 12 is pivoted as at 15. The support 14 has an enlarged lower end 16 adopted to V seat on a that part 1? of the cowl 1o there securedto the cowl as hy holts is end specification oi? ltetterc Potent.

Feltcloteel Anni 2th llhilho Flt 19, the :iioriner being shown particularly in Fig. 1 end the letter in Fig. 3. Both of these holts are shown in Fig i.

The support lo: is also formed with o side hose 20 to which is detochahly secured a side lamp 21. The lamp securing means is in the form of a hollow bolt F22, shown particularly in Fig. 2, and the wiring for the lamp extends through this belt. With the single wire system in which the metal wort: oi the hody constitutes the return conductor of the circuit, but one insulated wire 23 is used. This wire after passing; through the bolt 22 extends through an L-shaped conduit 24: formed in an enlarged part 16 oi? the support i l and through a conduit 25 in the cowl l0 and particularly in the bracket pert ll thereof. Thus, the conduits FM and 25 register where the support it joins the cowl and the two conduits term a housing for the wire 23 of the lompu Th6 shove described arrangement of ports forms a, particularly nest construction for motor vehicle use and the lamp and wiring are easily installed and are sdequetely housed,

lt will he understood that my invention is not lirnited to the details of construction shown and other forms may he used without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what if claim and desire to secure by Letters fatent 1s:-

support, ond'wires for the lamp extending; through the cowl end the windshield'su o'-- i port. I i

In a motor vehicle, the comhination with the cowl and a windshield support mounted thereon, said cowl and support having" registering conduits therethrough, hit 3 a lamp secured to said support and having wires extending" through said conduits.

In a niotor vehicle, the comhinetion with the cowl end windshield sup ort niounted'thereon, oi? a lamp mounts" on.

the vehicle and having wires (extending through the cow] and the windshield support.

4. In a motor whivlv. thicombination 5 with the cowl and a wiinlshiuld support;

detachably connected thereto, said cowl and support having registering conduits, of a lump (h-tnchnbly secured to the support and having wires extending through Said conduil's.
